Over-Employment

For no particular reason, the other day I decided to jot down a rather extensive list of all of the various jobs I've had the pleasure of working. My pen almost ran out of ink before I finished. In the end, I tallied 16 different jobs. Considering I'm not even 30 yet, I think that has to be some kind of record. I told this to one of my friends, and her response was: "and you're still going strong...proud of you." And frankly, I AM proud. The government and their 401K's can suck it, I'd rather keep myself entertained for a while. And that I have.


For the curious, my personal favorite job titles have been (in alphabetical order):
Barista
Bicycle Messenger
Carpet Cleaning Technician
Coke Mule (no, I'm totally joking)
Floor Instructor
Food Runner
Grassroots Canvasser
Personal Trainer
And there was also my stint as a Freelance Essay Writer (thank you lazy college students!)
In conclusion, I have no shame in my indecision, rather, I embrace it. So be on the lookout, I might be coming to an hourly wage position near YOU.
